I am building an app that uses a DatePickerDialog to allow the user to select their birthdate. Here's the code that loads the dialog right now:
private void selectBirthdate() {
int year, month, day;
if (mBirthDate == null) {
year = DEF_YEAR;
month = DEF_MON;
day = DEF_DAY;
}
else {
year = mBirthDate.get(Calendar.YEAR);
month = mBirthDate.get(Calendar.MONTH);
day = mBirthDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
}
new DatePickerDialog(
getActivity(),
new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
mBirthDate = new GregorianCalendar();
mBirthDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
mBirthDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
mBirthDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
if (mTxtBirthDate != null) {
mTxtBirthDate.setText(mBirthDateFormat.format(mBirthDate.getTime()));
}
}
},
year,
month,
day
).show();
}
And here's what the dialog looks like when I load it:
However, they want to be able to use the old-style spinner DatePicker, because in the new Calendar view, it's not always obvious to the user that they can change the year. So I have been studying up on the topic, and according to what I have read, it should be possible to use themes to force the DatePickerDialog into Spinner mode. So here's what I've done.
First, I added the following to my styles.xml:
(Sorry for the screenshot. Apparently SO's parser can't handle XML.)
Then, I update the DatePickerDialog constructor to use my new style:
new DatePickerDialog(
getActivity(),
R.style.MyDialogTheme,
new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
mBirthDate = new GregorianCalendar();
mBirthDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
mBirthDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
mBirthDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
if (mTxtBirthDate != null) {
mTxtBirthDate.setText(mBirthDateFormat.format(mBirthDate.getTime()));
}
}
},
year,
month,
day
).show();
Now, when I load the dialog it looks like this:
Clearly something has changed; the dialog has a darker theme. But it's not doing what I want. It's still displaying the calendar view instead of the spinner view. Any idea what I might have missed?
Here is what worked for me:
1) Create these two styles in your style.xml
<style name="MySpinnerDatePickerStyle" parent="android:Theme.Material.Dialog">
<item name="android:datePickerStyle">#style/MySpinnerDatePicker</item>
</style>
<style name="MySpinnerDatePicker" parent="android:Widget.Material.DatePicker">
<item name="android:datePickerMode">spinner</item>
</style>
2) Set "MySpinnerDatePickerStyle" as your style in your new DatePickerDialog
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(myContext, R.style.MySpinnerDatePickerStyle, date, myCalendar
.get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
Hope this works for you..
Note: I am still trying to figure out how to style the spinner by changing color and text color
Similarly as #Abuzaid said, inside your AppTheme style, add the android:datePickerStyle item as shown in this AppTheme example below:
<!-- Example of a Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<!-- !Important! Add this to force the use of the Spinner mode -->
<item name="android:datePickerStyle">#style/myDatePickerStyle</item>
</style>
Add this style to your styles.xml (inside the values-v21 folder, becouse this option is available only for api 21+)
<style name="myDatePickerStyle" parent="android:Widget.Material.DatePicker">
<item name="android:datePickerMode">spinner</item>
</style>
For Android version < 21, the spinner mode is the default. For 21+ the calendar mode is the new default mode.
In this case you can omit to specify the dialog theme becouse it will be inferred by the AppTheme that we have. For example: (With Java 8 lambda)
final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
final DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener dateSelectedListener = (view, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth) -> {
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear+1);
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
};
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
DatePickerDialog dp= new DatePickerDialog(context, dateSelectedListener, year, month, day);
Reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DatePickerDialog
Hope it can help! :)
Using the styles mentioned in the other answer to get the spinner only works on stock (or close to stock) Android devices, such as Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus, etc.
I made the mistake of testing on these devices only, and to my surprise, Samsung users were still complaining about the other picker, where they couldn't find how to change the birthdate year without having to scroll month by month.
The only cross device solution is using a library, that way you are sure you get the same spinner picker regardless of the underlying OS. I my case, I used SpinnerDatePicker, which is a pretty straightforward replacement for the native picker.
Simple solution with Material Componente
<style name="SpinnerDatePickerDialogTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dialog">
<item name="android:datePickerStyle">#style/DatePickerStyle</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/teal_200</item>
</style>
<style name="DatePickerStyle" parent="#android:style/Widget.Material.Light.DatePicker">
<item name="android:datePickerMode">spinner</item>
</style>
For some reason ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dialog.Alert is not working with darkmode

I am setting the datePickerMode in my styles file to spinner like this:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:dialogTheme">#style/MyDialogTheme</item>
<item name="android:datePickerStyle">#style/MyDatePicker</item>
</style>
<style name="ItvDialogTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.Dialog">
<item name="android:datePickerStyle">#style/MyDatePicker</item>
</style>
<style name="MyDatePicker" parent="android:Widget.Material.Light.DatePicker">
<item name="android:datePickerMode">spinner</item>
</style>
and then create a DatePicker
DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener onDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
#Override
public void onDateSet(final DatePicker view, final int year, final int monthOfYear, final int dayOfMonth) {
//handle result
}
};
DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(this, onDateSetListener, dob.getYear(), dob.getMonth() - 1,
dob.getDay());
dialog.show();
This worked fine across a lot of devices including the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on Android 6, but since updating the device to Android 7 it ignores the mode spinner and shows the calendar.
The spinner works fine on an One Plus 3 on Android 7.1.1.
Any ideas?
You may be running into this issue (#37120178) datepicker dialog can't switch to spinner on Android 7.0 device. If so, there is a work-around documented on that page. I haven't tried the work-around, but it may be worth a shot. (See below for implementation of the work-around.)
By the way, I have a Samsung S7 (not an edge) running 7.0. I can get a DatePicker spinner if I define it in XML, so another work-around would be to define the DatePicker spinner in XML and use it in the dialog.
Here is a gist of this solution.
Odd, but those fixes in the bug report seem to be for the time picker although the report is for the date picker. I dug around a bit and found Use DatePicker spinners in API 24 as a potential fix. Again, I have not tried this.
This reflection logic does appear to work. It showed the spinner beside the calendar view for me. If you want just the spinner, you will need to add the following to your style:
<item name="android:calendarViewShown">false</item>
(Credit for this work-around goes to lognaturel and jeffdgr8).
Here is what my custom DatePickerDialog looks like with the reflection logic:
public class MyReflectionDatePickerDialog extends DatePickerDialog {
private DatePicker mDatePicker;
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
public MyReflectionDatePickerDialog(#NonNull Context context, #Nullable OnDateSetListener listener,
int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
super(context, listener, year, month, dayOfMonth);
fixSpinner(context, year, month, dayOfMonth);
}
// include gist here from:
// https://gist.github.com/lognaturel/232395ee1079ff9e4b1b8e7096c3afaf
}
You would instantiate this custom view as shown below:
DatePickerDialog dialog;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
dialog = new MyDatePickerDialog(this, onDateSetListener, dob.getYear(),
dob.getMonth() - 1, dob.getDay());
} else {
dialog = new DatePickerDialog(this, onDateSetListener, dob.getYear(),
dob.getMonth() - 1, dob.getDay());
}
You can try this.
datePicker.setCalendarViewShown(false);
You Should try to raise the
targetSdkVersion to 24 because of the android 7.0
I'm struggling with android calendar styling. It turns out that android 6 ignores calendarTextColor and uses textColorPrimary in order to style day labels as well as textColorSecondary to style day of weeks. I've checked calendarTextColor on android 5 and it works correctly. According to the documentation textColorPrimary is used as Toolbar text color. https://developer.android.com/training/material/theme.html So my toolbar text color is white and I receive white day labels on a white background. How to specify calendarTextColor without touching textColorPrimary for android api 23?
You could make a custom theme for the datepicker and specify text color there
try this
<style name="datePickerTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/colorBlack</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/colorBlack</item>
<item name="android:textColorTertiary">#color/colorBlack</item>
</style>
and then you can specify this theme when you call your DatePickerDialog like this
final DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener date = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
myCalendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
myCalendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear);
myCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
String myFormat = "MM/dd/yy"; //In which you need put here
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(myFormat, Locale.US);
calendar.setText(sdf.format(myCalendar.getTime()));
}
};
calendar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
new DatePickerDialog(YourActivity.this,R.style.datePickerTheme, date, myCalendar
.get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)).show();
}
});
}
Seems like anyone using Marshmallow (Android 6.0) is not able to use the DatePicketDialog within my app. There appears to be some sort of theme issue that I'm encountering. I use a DialogFragment which contains a DatePicketDialog for the user to select birthday. Here are shots of the DialogFragment with Android 5.x an d 6.x.
I attempted to add a theme in the DatePickerDialog constructor, but that made the DialogFragment fullscreen and I don't want that. Does anyone know how I can get the DatePickerDialog to look like it was prior to Marshmallow?
UPDATE 1
Here is the code where I create the DialogFragment:
DialogFragment ageFragment = new DatePickerDialogFragment();
ageFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
Here is the onCreateDialog inside the DatePickerDialogFragment:
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker if no filters are set
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
// Set the date 18 years previous, since only 18 and older are allowed on the app
cal.add(Calendar.YEAR, -18);
int year, month, day;
if (iDialogListener.getYear() == -1 || iDialogListener.getMonth() == -1
|| iDialogListener.getDay() == -1) {
Calendar defaultCal = Calendar.getInstance();
// 40 is the default age to show
defaultCal.add(Calendar.YEAR, -40);
year = defaultCal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
month = defaultCal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
day = defaultCal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
} else {
year = iDialogListener.getYear();
month = iDialogListener.getMonth();
day = iDialogListener.getDay();
}
DatePickerDialog datepicker = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
datepicker.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(cal.getTimeInMillis());
Calendar minDate = Calendar.getInstance();
minDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR) - 100);
datepicker.getDatePicker().setMinDate(minDate.getTimeInMillis());
// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
return datepicker;
}
In the themes.xml the only line that touches Dialogs is
<item name="android:alertDialogTheme">#style/CustomDialogTheme</item>
But if I'm thinking right, that doesn't touch the DialogFragment does it?
Update 2
Here is the CustomDialogTheme:
<style name="CustomDialogTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:windowMinWidthMajor">#android:dimen/dialog_min_width_major</item>
<item name="android:windowMinWidthMinor">#android:dimen/dialog_min_width_minor</item>
</style>
You create theme in styles.xml but didn't refer it to DatePickerDialog like
DatePickerDialog dlg = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),
R.style.datepickerCustom,this,year,month,day);
and create a folder name values-v21 and add a copy of style.xml to it. and paste
<style name="datepickerCustom" parent="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.Dialog">
<item name="android:colorAccent">#color/orange_theme</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/darker_gray</item>
<!--<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>-->
<!--<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/white</item>-->
<!--<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/white</item>-->
</style>
Just change colorAscent color in styles.xml :
<style name="MyMaterialTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorAccent">#FC6C2D</item> ---> I used orange color here to display the picker dialog in orange color for marshmallow device.
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#000000</item>
</style>
Thanks to the post How to change the style of Date picker in android?, I was able to properly show the DatePicker. I had to use parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog" when styling the DatePicker
I'm creating a form that consists of EditTexts which launch DatePickerDialogs and TimePickerDialogs.
Here are the sections of the code:
DatePickerDialog
DatePickerDialog datePicker = new DatePickerDialog(context, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
#Override
public void onDateSet(android.widget.DatePicker view, int chosenYear, int chosenMonth, int chosenDate) {
year = chosenYear;
month = chosenMonth;
date = chosenDate;
set(year, month, date);
}
}, year, month, date);
datePicker.setTitle("Select Date");
datePicker.show();
TimePickerDialog
TimePickerDialog timePicker = new TimePickerDialog(context, new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
#Override
public void onTimeSet(android.widget.TimePicker view, int chosenHour, int chosenMinute) {
hour = chosenHour;
minute = chosenMinute;
set(hour, minute);
}
}, hour, minute, false);
timePicker.setTitle("Select Time");
timePicker.show();
Everything works as it should be such as launching the dialogs and setting the date properly. There's this one problem. The previews are not rendered. I don't know why. Hope someone could help. Thanks.
Here are the screenshots:
Notice the white backgrounds.
in your styles.xml add two new styles:
<style name="DatePicker" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
<item name="colorAccent">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
<style name="TimePicker" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
<item name="colorAccent">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
Then refer to these styles in your custom theme as followed:
<item name="android:datePickerDialogTheme" tools:targetApi="21">#style/DatePicker</item>
<item name="android:timePickerDialogTheme" tools:targetApi="21">#style/TimePicker</item>
I am tying to change the divider color of the DatePicker Dialog.
I already checked all duplicate questions but i didn't get anything which is working.
I want to use orange color instead of this blue color of this divider.
Right now my datepicker looks like this and i also want to remove this background of whole date picker.
I used this code for datepicker dialog
final Calendar calendarDate = Calendar.getInstance();
DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener dateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
calendarDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
calendarDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear);
calendarDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
}
};
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(mContext,
dateSetListener, calendarDate.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendarDate
.get(Calendar.MONTH), calendarDate
.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);
datePickerDialog.show();
Screeshot :
Use Custom Style to change the divider color/theme from your drawable image as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="YourTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:divider">#drawable/dialog_divider_color</item>
</style>
</resources>
and update the AndroidManifest.xml file with the android:theme="YourTheme" for the <activity/>
